Compressor provided with an oil separator

Abstract

A compressor comprises a compressing device, an outlet chamber, a centrifugal separator for separating lubricating oil from refrigerant gas discharged from the compressing device into the outlet chamber and a casing for accommodating the compressing device, the outlet chamber and the centrifugal separator. A lubricating oil separator assembly comprising a bulkhead forming a refrigerant gas passage and the centrifugal separator assembled with the bulkhead as a unitary body is disposed in the outlet chamber.

1 . A compressor comprising a compressing device, an outlet chamber, a centrifugal separator for separating lubricating oil from refrigerant gas discharged from the compressing device into the outlet chamber and a casing for accommodating the compressing device, the outlet chamber and the centrifugal separator, wherein a lubricating oil separator assembly comprising a bulkhead forming a refrigerant gas passage and the centrifugal separator assembled with the bulkhead as a unitary body is disposed in the outlet chamber.  
   
   
       2 . A compressor of  claim 1 , wherein the centrifugal separator is formed integrally with the bulkhead.  
   
   
       3 . A compressor of  claim 1 , wherein the bulkhead cooperates with the surrounding wall of the outlet chamber to form the refrigerant gas passage.
